One lucky Mosadi subscriber could win two bottles of Truman & Orange Abstinence valued at R500.
“Would you like to have a drink with no alcohol in?” was not a question that made you any friends a few years back. But change is in the air, and the world seems to be going through a paradigm shift in how it drinks. Globally, a younger generation is more health conscious than ever before and sugary soft drink volumes are declining, while the demand for sophisticated, alternative drinks for adults is growing. South Africans are joining the rest of the world by choosing to drink less, while also drinking better quality, more premium products.
There is a burgeoning need to increase the repertoire available to those not ‘drinking’, but who still want to share a drink with friends without ordering a sugar-laden soft-drink. UK and US statistics are relevant to South Africa as South African drinking trends tend to follow those countries – the craft beer revolution, the gin explosion, cocktail resurgence.
Truman & Orange are introducing two new non-alcoholic spirits to their portfolio: the locally-produced Abstinence and the imported Fluére. Inspired by the biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom, Abstinence is a sophisticated, layered, complex non-alcoholic spirit made using a proprietary artisanal single batch distillation process similar to craft gin-making. The botanicals are extracted by maceration and infusion and distilled with the same distilling equipment used in gin making, but without alcohol for extraction, meaning more of each of the botanicals are needed.
Each Abstinence spirit variant has a distinct, indigenous hero ingredient that is unmistakably and authentically South African. The Cape Citrus variant has Buchu and Western Cape Citrus at its core, the Cape Spice variant captures a medley of spices and Honeybush and the newest addition to the range, Cape Fynbos, showcases Rose Geranium. Abstinence Cape Fynbos is a beautifully floral creation including Juniper berries, Angelica root and Coriander which imbue it with trademark gin flavours and slightly bitter, slightly herbal, and faintly nettle-like notes. It’s best served with premium tonic water, lemon peel and fresh berries.
Abstinence Non-Alcoholic Aperitif offers rich, complex flavours, without alcohol. An infusion of botanicals – African Wormwood, Cinchona Bark, All Spice and Clove – support a dominant Blood Orange resulting in a classic Italian-style bitter with a mouth-watering, bittersweet mouthfeel. Top with soda or tonic water for an Abstinence Spritz and create an Abstinence Negroni with equal parts Abstinence Cape Spice or Cape Citrus and Abstinence Aperitif poured over ice.
Abstinence is available at Takealot and at all good liquor outlets including PnP Liquor; Tops @ Spar and Norman Goodfellows.
